Nah, I've spoken on my cell about two feet away from a buddy of mine while he was flying. No problem.
We got a guy at our feild who is an expert 3d pilot and also a multi tasker if I might add. He will fire up his plane, carry it out in one hand with a transmitter in his other hand and a cigerette in his mouth. He launches the plane into a hover and all kinds of other 3d manuevers and then gets a call on his phone so he reaches into his back pocket and answers it. Hes out there flyin all around, smoking and having an in depth conversation with some one over the phone. Some times multi taskers amaze me a little bit.
Also, We have a feild near by us that experiences some weird happenings. This was a feild that was right next to a college campus. They had guys fire up their planes then take off and start flying. Then they noticed they were starting to get an unusualy large number of crashes do to loss of radio signal. All their crashes happend right around the top of the hour and every hour. After extensive investigation it turned out that the school nearby the feild was using an illegal air frequency to reset every one of their clocks on campus on the hour every hour. They were using a channel in the 72 mhz range which happend to be the same as the modlers at the air feild near by which was causing all the crashes. I dont know whatever came about after that but some one was telling me that story second hand.
